Joe's a complete pro. He understands how to best prepare a home for sale. He knows how to then market the property so its unique value is made clear to potential buyers. Finally, he's a strong advocate during final negotiations. Turn to Joe if you want to sell your home quickly and for a great price.

Bought a Single Family home in 2019 for approximately $100K in Verona, PA.

Joe helped me purchase my first home. I was very overwhelmed with questions and concerns about the whole home buying process in general and Joe walked me through step by step on what to do, what will happen and any worst case scenarios that might come up during the process. He knew the Pittsburgh areas and surrounding suburbs very well and could give me advice on what neighborhood would fit my criteria. While showing me homes, he was very honest in his assessment of the home including any negative details about the home. As a first time buyer I wasn’t sure what kinds of potential problems to look for but Joe pointed them out to me as we went along. Towards the end of the shopping process, I felt confident enough to spot problems myself because of his direction. I have heard horror stories about the home buying process but I believe having Joe as my realtor prevented me from having my own home buying horror story based on his own expertise. He even helped me negotiate a lower price on my home by recommending negotiation topics. The whole process for me went insanely smooth from beginning to end. I am currently very happy with my new home. I would recommend Joe to anyone.

Joe was very personable and always went out of his way to help us understand the process and feel comfortable, considering we are first time home buyers. We loved working with Joe

He listened to what I wanted. Helped well with the counter offers. Keep the communication open.

~ N.D.

Couldn't have asked for a better agent in buying our first home! He was with us every step of the process. He never made us feel pressured to buy something even though it took us a couple of months to find our home. We couldn't say enough good things about Joe. We will be using him down the road one day if we decide to sell. - Don Pastorius

Sold a Single Family home in 2018 for approximately $275K in Squirrel Hill South, Pittsburgh, PA.

KUDOS! Joe is truly a savvy committed seasoned professional with a great work ethic who not only met but exceeded our expectations when selling our family's home this summer. Being a Pittsburgh native, he is sharp on the market, knowing neighborhoods thoroughly, sharing interesting facts and history about them and the city as well as knowing how to best price and market our house. Throughout the selling experience, Joe demonstrated excellent interpersonal, organizational and communication skills which made us feel comfortable and at ease with the whole process beginning to end. He was a great mentor - explaining and simplifying terms and scenarios. No questions were left unanswered nor concerns not attended to. Totally efficient and quick to provide feedback and act. He communicates how you best like to...phone, email, text, in person. In short, if you are looking someone to go to bat for you, this is your gentleman hands down. Smart. Reliable. Confident. Honest. Genuine. He was always willing to go the extra mile to smooth any bumps in the road or if having to navigate through unchartered waters... and, he did it graciously and with a fantastic sense of humor. Thank you Joe! He batted 1.000 for us. We are grateful for his professional help and kind friendship that ensued along the way and recommend you allow him to step up to the plate for you!

Sold a Townhouse home in 2018 for approximately $425K in Southside Flats, Pittsburgh, PA.

Joe Pegher was my agent for the recent sale of my townhouse. From our first meeting, where he went into great detail about what to expect in this market and what he will provide as my representative, my experience was outstanding. During the whole process – from preparing my home for the market to pricing to the open house to negotiating an offer – he was calm, knowledgeable, accessible, and a very wise strategist. I always felt I had his full attention and interest. This was the smoothest sale I've ever had (and I've bought and sold many times). Five stars, for sure!

Bought a Single Family home in 2018 for approximately $600K in Wexford, PA.

Joe is a great realtor! He is very knowledgable of the area and was easy to work with. He showed us every house we wanted to look at (and there were a lot!). He took the time at the beginning to understand what we were looking for and provided his opinions throughout the process to help us focus on what was most important to us. He even had the feeling the house we bought would be “the one” before we did. His expertise in negotiating made the difference with us getting the house we wanted, without over-paying. He answered every question we had and was patient with us as we looked at houses in several areas of Pittsburgh. He also went above and beyond to help us find a temporary living location when we relocated to Pittsburgh from out of state. We highly recommend Joe to anyone looking to find their home!

Bought a Single Family home in 2018 for approximately $225K in Pittsburgh, PA.

As a relatively new home buyer, Joe was a true joy to work with to find my next home. Joe really takes the time to learn his clients and what they are looking for in their ideal home. He setup time with me and my girlfriend to understand our needs and talk with us about what areas of the city might best fit those needs. He really knows how to personalize his process to his client and their knowledge base. He is there every step of the process and never fails to pick up the phone or respond to a text promptly! I would highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a personalized home-buying experience with a caring and attentive agent.

Joe was awesome in helping us find the right house we were looking for. He showed us every home we asked to see without question or hesitation. He answered all of our questions throughout the process and was very responsive every time we called or texted. He is very knowledgeable about the areas we were looking and because of his expertise in real estate, we were able to get the home we wanted without over-paying. We highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for find the right home for them!

Northwood connected us with Joe to view a condo we were interested in buying. He was extreamly helpful with any information that we requested, he answered our emails/texts within a very short time. After viewing the unit we returned to Florida and Joe conducted the negotiations, inspection and closing of the condo with us by phone and emails. He is very organized and made us feel like we were his only customer. We would highly recommend Joe to anyone and will be our first call for any future home buying or selling.

Joe is a outstanding realtor! He knows the market very well. He is also very considering. I live close to his office. He offer to drive me to the house which we want to see. He is also very patient to all my requests. I truly enjoy working with Joe and will work with him again and again!

He was vary patient, professional, and knowledgable about various situations we encountered during the process of finding a buyer. He expertly handled the person I actually sold the property to, where I think another realtor may have abandon the opportunity.

Bought a Single Family home in 2016 for approximately $375K in Lower Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh, PA.

Real estate agent Joe Pegher (Northwood Realty Services) is a miracle maker, a hand-holder, an encouraging soul who knows how to soothe concerns and make doubts disappear.. Buying a home had not been a priority until our troubling experience renting Pittsburgh apartments. We were reluctant at age 70 to accept responsibilities that come with owning your own home. We met Joe November 4, 2016 and, we're convinced, to any other agent we might have been a challenge; to Joe we were an opportunity, even fun, as we rattled off our many wants. A bathtub. A fenced in yard. In the heart of Lawrenceville and close to Our Lady of Angels parish. And the price had to be right. On December 21, we closed on our home - a century old home two blocks from our church in Lawrenceville. Our home was completely updated in 2013. Our mortgage payment is less that what we had paid for a monthly apartment rental.Joe Pegher made all the difference. He continues to keep in touch and his touch warms our hearts. We are happy.

Bought a Single Family home in 2016 for approximately $225K in Squirrel Hill South, Pittsburgh, PA.

Joe proved to be extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly, experienced and overall easy to work with. He has been in real estate for a long time and has seen just about everything. We are from out of town, so having his knowledge and having his ability to identify red flags were ideal in helping us find the perfect fixer-upper. He knew the neighborhoods inside and out, so much so that he never even used a GPS to find over 20 homes that we visited!There were some issues with the mortgage company that resulted in a few hiccups during the closing process. Joe was responsive and walked us through all of our options and helped coordinate everything between the mortgage company, the seller and us. All in all, Joe is an outstanding realtor and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a new home!

I will gladly say it was a real pleasure working with Joe. Would recommend Joe to anyone who asked for an agent. I would tell him addresses I wanted to see, and he would make a phone call and we would see the property (most of the time the same day) We always had a laugh about something. He was very honest and easy to talk to. Good heart, good character, and good taste in pizza

Sold a Single Family home in 2015 for approximately $125K in Hazelwood, Pittsburgh, PA.

Joe worked with us to sell our house in Piittsburgh as part of a stressful move to another state. At our first meeting, we explained that we were on a waiting list so timing was critical to us, and Joe assured us that when we said "Go", our home would be up online by nightfall. In the meantime, Joe spent a great deal of time with us explaining the process, giving helpful advice on preparing our house to show, and providing the appropriate paperwork for us to complete. When we were finally ready, Joe listed our house at once, and it sold in four days, at above list price and with a closing date to suit our requirements. We found Joe to be professional, knowledgeable, hard-working and respectful of our property. Equally as important, Joe is an extremely patient and pleasant person, and a joy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone selling their home.

He critically inspected each of the house with us, noting their flaws and making suggestions to us. By no means he was pushing us to buy one house versus another.

Bought a Single Family home in 2015 for approximately $150K in Stanton Heights, Pittsburgh, PA.

I contacted Joe last February for help buying a home. I explained bluntly that my credit was poor and that buying a home was a goal but probably a good while off. Joe and I talked for about 90 minutes about the process, and referred me to Nicole Carlin at West Penn Financial for financial advise. Those two have basically been family for the last year. Nicole looked at my credit and guided me in the right direction and with her advice, my score improved over 150 points. Joe painstakingly showed us homes, I think at least 20 beginning in the fall when we were ready. We made offers on three, and the third was the charm. He did such a good job being available and patient with us, and I know I had to be irritating at times. He explained everything so clearly and was very by the book with legalities. We look forward to keeping in touch and living in the home he sold us!

Sold a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $125K in Pittsburgh, PA.

It is with pleasure that I write of Joe Pegher, an extraordinary Realtor, who successfully sold a Pittsburgh residence in my late brother’s estate. Working with an out-of-state executor, Joe’s skilled work and local knowledge of house service and repair vendors, was invaluable. Joe Pegher’s positive “can do attitude” work character, his high-level work energy were greatly appreciated. As a resourceful and solution-oriented individual, Joe was able to use innovative approaches to problem solving. Flexible, and always full of energy, he can be counted on to get the sale done. I unreservedly recommend Joe Pegher. He is a credit to himself, as a Realtor, and to his agency.

Bought a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $50K in Sheraden, Pittsburgh, PA.

My experience with this agent made a very stressful process more bearable. Purchasing from FannieMae rarely goes well, but working with Mr. Pegher gave me encouragement to keep on going. The result is that I have a wonderful new home that I will enjoy for years to come. His service, attention to detail, calm pleasant manner and knowledge of the industry surpassed any other agents I encountered. (I worked with three other agents prior to connecting with Mr. Pegher.). His responsiveness, willingness to tackle little and big upsets, bureaucratic snafus, and a selling agent that didn't give a s..t, made him a hero in my book. I would use him again and highly recommend him to family and friends.

We met Joe at an open house and he seemed very eager to work with us and very open to helping us to take our time to find just the right property. He reiterated that he enjoyed looking at houses and that he would be happy to just go out and look. We met and discussed exactly the type of home for which we were searching. We eventually found that home and Joe represented us in the purchase. He was attentive to detail, prompt, responded back to us in a timely manner and made the process as easy as possible.

My wife and I were able to meet up with Joe through his response to a question I asked on Trulia. Though we were coming into town on short notice, Joe was able to set up a terrific route to see houses around several neighborhoods for us and had great communication with us prior to our arrival. Joe took the whole afternoon with us, let us ask all the questions we wanted, giving us great background info on the different neighborhoods as well as Pittsburgh in general.Even though he knew we weren't ready to by a house and still going to look at some other cities, he was still willing to take the time to just basically get us accustomed to the surroundings, get a feel for what our price range could get without rushing us or 'overselling' the houses or Pittsburgh.The bottom line is the afternoon spent with Joe definitely improved the chances that we will end up choosing Pittsburgh because of the great feel we were able to get for the area. And, if we do, we will look forward to working with Joe to get it done.
